Hi.
Sure you can, if you know what wavelength you are working with and a few
construction principles for the frequencies in question. For example, as
you get into the microwave ranges, construction techniques change quite a
bit because inductive reactance becomes much more of an issue at higher
frequencies. However, if you understand the principles involved, you can
make an antenna for anything. Whether it is ham radio, or something else
is irrelevant.
One thing you do have to watch though is whether or not the device you are
making the antenna for is a Part 15 device. That is because the gain of
the supplied antenna is figured into the Part 15 specification, and if you
put an antenna with more gain on it and cause interference to some other
device, you will held to be at fault and in violation of FCC rules because
you have violated the type acceptance of that device by putting a gain
antenna on it.
